” I don’t understand what you are saying. Do you mean the “mystery witness” taped her conversation with Martin and the tape ended up destroyed? “
The date , time , length of call duration , and proximity to the time of the assault contained on the cellphone were lost/destroyed by the State technician , as I recall.
I thought they already determined she was lying about being on the phone...... In any case isnt her testimony HEARSAY....
AND WHY ARE ZIMMERMAN’S PARENTS barred from the courtroom. When will they say the softdrink and skittles are part of a drug concoction CALLED “LEAN” combined with cough medicine to get a high. Check out treyvons FACEBOOK page where he is seeking drug making advice... And when will they stop showing the baby pics and show the wanna be gangsta ??????? tell us about the 7/11 film and the cash transaciton and tell us about “LEAN”..... I thought treyvon doubled back on Z and attacked him trying to get the gun, whole smacking his head on the pavement. You gotta be a jerk to attak someone with a gun armed with skittles and a fruit drink....

They may be called on later in the court action as witnesess.
They were removed so as to prevent their testimony from getting ‘tainted’.
Normal court procedure .
The fact of destruction would be admissible against the state and probably the defense would be allowed a jury instruction on the destruction of evidence. I don’t know Florida’s law on that point. In California there is a jury instruction on destruction of evidence by one party to the detriment of the opposite party.
What you are not being told, is that the “FIX” is in. All this trial they are holding is similar to a “KABUKI” theater Every one responsible for that trial is just going through the motion, to let everybody think that this is going to be a “FAIR” trial. Zimmermann will be found guilty, he will spend a few years,(NOT LIFE), in prison, and the “natives” will be pacified. That’s the only reason for this “KABUKI” theater.
Yes. There should be a jury instruction as well regarding what inferences the jury can draw when evidence is destroyed.
coached witness.
if phone was on, the state knows exactly where he was standing. (fitness nuts have apps that can read it)
destruction of evidence is ground for an aquital, contempt of court, bar discipline, striking of all pleadings of you side...
it is not a small thing.
Unfortunately I couldn’t agree more. I don’t think it matters what we see in the courtroom, it will be guilty, that will save the most lives.
It’s not right but it will save lives.
You are absolutely incorrect. The defense is doing a masterful job at cross on the state’s witnesses so far.
If you initiate violence against someone they might kill your ass to make you stop. These are the risks you take in knocking someone down on the ground and pounding their head on cement.
I am hoping to be proven wrong. I have not had a chance to watch the trial so far, but I did read the reports on all the pretrial proceedings and I did read many of the filings. The tenor was very milquetoast compared to the outrage they should have been exuding at this outrage.
The hearsay rule is designed to serve two purposes:
This trial is pure fugging bullchit!
See#53 :-)
This all sounds like information which would have to be subpoenaed from the phone service company. It would be imbedded in data concerning thousands of calls. I don't see how it could be destroyed by a "State technician".
Dumber DeeDee tomorrow.
All deep DooDoo so far for the prosecution.

William Tell~ “ This all sounds like information which would have to be subpoenaed from the phone service company. It would be imbedded in data concerning thousands of calls. I don’t see how it could be destroyed by a “State technician”.
Agreed !
But the reality is that the original data was destroyed by the State Technician when they tried to ‘hack ‘ the phone.
It would be interesting what else got tainted by the State ..maybe more for the defense ?
What I am saying is that you cannot "hack" the phone in such a manner as to erase information collected, stored, and archived by the phone company. The only connection with the phone once the records are made is that the records contain the phone number. The records are not on the phone.
